I would love to see his potential this season, but the reality is he is replaceable (not to the same standard) and he alone won’t solve any defensive woes we have. I’d sooner lose Wes than Madders. 85 mil is a fee that doesn’t come around often, and another injury could change that quite quickly. Yep. We stumbled along without little Wes last season, as wonderful a player as he is. An on form Maddison has that little bit of magic in his boots that we probably can't replace. It is easier to destroy than to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually the latter, which in this case would be around £10m if we bought him for £30m and sold him for a £50m profit... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkielcfc Posted 3 August 2022 Share Posted 3 August 2022 This isn’t going to end well… can’t see us holding Chelsea off all window, especially now the first bid is in, they’ll keep going for sure!! 🥺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 3 August 2022 Share Posted 3 August 2022 Still have a funny feeling he'll leave closer to deadline day. Chelsea eventually stump up the cash, his final game with us is Southampton, and his first game for Chelsea is against us, ironically. And he'll probably score from a corner in that game too.

Sampson Posted 3 August 2022 Share Posted 3 August 2022 (edited) 19 minutes ago, GingerrrFox said: He’s not for sale this window. Brendan has already said he’s not for sale, he’s contracted to 2027 and his value isn’t decreasing. He will most likely go next summer but not now. Rodgers doesn’t decide who we sell. Rudkin and the board do. Rodgers said the same about Chilwell about 2 weeks before he was sold. I think it’s quite likely he’ll go, much more likely than Maddison leaving.

Maddison wants a new contract and to be valued as a top player, I think we’ll offer him that, I think Newcastle is a risk as they will use and dispose of players as they try to climb the ladder. Newcastle is a sideways step with added risk. I don’t think the club can afford to lose fofana unless the fee is huge and I don’t think Chelsea will pay it. Youri may for a smaller fee than we’d like and hopefully we guarantee Praet regular first team football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_favourite Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 (edited) Shows that we have strong leadership at the club and if any club think we’ll let valuable players leave to another prem side cheap, then they are truly mistaken. We’re not the zebra, but a wounded animal that still has plenty of fight left.

taupe Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 There's a perspective that sees the "big clubs" as trying to rip us off, destabilise us, pick our bones, etc. Even BR talked about not letting 'them' intimidate us. I don't see it like that. I think you ought think of scale. All clubs want to get the best players that they can afford. Chelsea are no different to anyone in that. Obviously, if you have more money (or access to) then you can afford both to spend more on a player, and buy more players. All clubs know what they can spend (and FFP comes in to this too) and buy accordingly. Forest have shown the flexibility and freedom offered by having more spending room (if I can put it like that) with both access to the funds that Prem earnings allow, and now higher limits and previously low championship wages. They've got fields of space to play and have romped! No club has an agenda to knobble another club (other than on the pitch)... though I do wonder about Arsenal's supposed interest in Youri... and Newcastle buying Wood could be seen as a 'two birds with one stone' masterstroke. In general, clubs just try to do the best for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 Can't we tell them to 'cool their boots' and promise them first refusal next summer. Then sweeten the pot by loaning them Vester for a season. Everyone's a winner!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owner has no concept how a free market within a sport works. Bizarre how they keep getting deals agree and then fail on packages - which suggests cash rich but don’t want a whopping wage bill. Throw in an absolute daft move here with Colwill knocking on to their current CB target. As a club in their transfer deals, they can be summed up in how they let Lamptey and Livramento go, then throw a bid in for Walker-Peters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
